San Francisco Poems, Paperback / softback Book

San Francisco Poems Paperback / softback

Part of the San Francisco Poet Laureate Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Here are all of Ferlinghetti's poems set in the city he has lived in for over half a century.

He brings alive, with wit and lyricism, scenes of city life: a Giants baseball game, the Green Street Marching Mortuary Band, bohemian North Beach, Golden Gate Park, yachts on the Bay, and more.

Also included are historic photographs, scattered prose pieces, and the text of his mischievous inaugural address with his vision of the city's history as a poetic center and suggestions for keeping it that way. Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a bookman, painter and author of poetry, fiction, essays and plays.

His most recent books are How to Paint Sunlight (poetry) and Love in the Days of Rage (fiction).
